Here's
a wonderful family favorite that will surely become one of yours.
Tender chicken in a spicy, creamy cheese sauce, blended
with pasta , will have you going back for more. Also, fabulous with
crawfish or shrimp. Serve with a big tossed salad and hot French bread, for a
delectable week night meal. Cest bon, cher!

Prepare pasta according to package directions and rinse and drain and place in a large bowl.

Season chicken with Cajun seasoning and heat 1 tbs. of olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook for 5 more minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to rest.

Return skillet to stove top and add other tbs. olive oil. On medium heat, saute the onions, for about 5 minutes. Add the bell peppers and garlic and continue to saute and stir for 5 more minutes. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.

Add the heavy cream, and butter and cook on low heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly. Add the cheeses and the parsley to the cream mixture and stir until melted and well combined. Stir in a few shakes of Tabasco.

Add the pasta to the cream and cheese mixture and mix well. Add the cooked chicken and stir well to coat. Sinfully delicious! Bon appetit!

Here's a little clip of Lil' Buck Sinegal's birthday bash at the Blue Moon Saloon last week. The man's been playing the blues for over 50 years and the crowd was lovin' this song. Crank it up for this one cher and let the bon temps roll!

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of my new followers. Please leave me a comment so that I can follow you back. Merci beaucoup for stopping by! Hope that ya'll are all having a wonderful week.

This Cajun Chicken Alfredo looks great. Am definitely going to try this! Love your recipes and pictures. Have recommended your site to friends... (I also love the Cajun music. Reminds me of of the times we went to French Settlement when we were at LSUBR and listening to a band play 'got your mojo workin')

good golly - a stick of butter and 1 1/2 cups heavy cream... Marguerite, this is my kind of sauce, and with the Cajun kick, its gotta be fantastic... the first parade downtown rolls this Friday.... Can you believe it's here, again?

Hi Marguerite,How are you doing? I have some friends who are heading down your way this week end to celebrate. Your Cajun Chicken Alfredo will sure get any party started and that great music will sure make it a hit. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for sharing your tasty recipe with Full Plate Thursday.Come Back Soon!Miz Helen

I just discovered this site and absolutley love it! I love to cook and love the Canjun and Creole fair. Although I live in the north my mind is more frequently in the south. I don't belong up here!!! i will continue to follow this great page

Me again. Just wanted to say we really, really enjoyed your Stuffed Filet Mignon (previous post) the other night. Hub and I agreed we've never had a filet in a restaurant that was as delicious. I followed your recipe to a T except for leaving the steaks in the oven for 17 minutes (as they were really thick) and using cream sherry. Thought I had the dry but didn't. But the cream worked beautifully. Thanks for this great recipe.

And thank you, cher, for putting the cover for "Rings of Trust" on your sidebar. You're the greatest. I don't know which planet I'm on because I just noticed!

Bonjour and Welcome !
